Men in a War Lyrics

Suzanne Vega

Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before
Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before
He lay on a cot He was drenched in a sweat He was mute and staring But feeling the thing he had not
I know how it is When something is gone A piece of your eyesight Or maybe your vision
A corner of sense Goes blank on the screen A piece of the scan Gets filled in by hand
You know that it was And now it is not So you just make do with Whatever you've got
Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before
If your nerve is cut And you're kept on the stretch You can't feel your will You can't find your gut
And she lay on her back She made sure she was hid She was mute and staring Not feeling the thing that she did
I know how it is When something is gone A piece of your eyesight Or maybe your vision
A corner of sense Goes blank on the screen A piece of the scan Gets filled in by hand
You know that it was And now it is not So you just make do with Whatever you've got
Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before
Men (Men, men) In a war (War, war) If they've lost (Lost, lost) A limb (Limb, limb) Still feel (Feel, feel) That limb (Limb, limb) As they did (Did, did) Before
